What are the Longley chimes?

Recommended Posts

Quick question which probably has a boring answer but what is the chimes I hear in the Longley area on a Sunday? Yesterday they went off at the strange time of 10:42, and it all sounds a bit random (I tried to count them but gave up after 20 or so rings). I know the NHG clock tower but that sounds on the hour and this random one seems to be coming from a different place.

Its St Leonards on Herries ave.

 

Sunday bells are regular but in the week might be practice. (they need some).

As Mikes-joiner says, St Leonards church bell chimes on a Sunday. I think there is only one bell because you never hear a peal of bells

If I heard these I knew I had to run . I was in the church choir and we had to be there to change into our robes before the bell sounded . Good memories ! Also apologies to the brides who's weddings I sang at ,me and my friend spent many a Saturday in fits of giggles during songs haha !

Vicar Ball was lovely such a gentle man . He came out of retirement to take my moms funeral . As I said some lovely memories .
